Here's a notice from city school officials:
This is a very important message for parents of Batavia City School District students. Children in grades Pre-K through 8 will not attend school on Monday, May 10 so that teachers may score the NYS ELA Assessments.
High School students must be in regular attendance.
New York State changed the schedule for administering and scoring the 3-8 ELA and Math State assessments in July after the district had established its calendar for the year.
The window during which the ELA assessments can be scored is significantly shorter because the Math Assessment administration begins immediately after ELA. Therefore, the District is declaring May 10 a Superintendent’s Conference Day for elementary and middle school students.
The district apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
